Olave (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is on track to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Olave took a designation into Sunday after closing Week 2 prep with a pair of practices due to the hamstring injury he sustained during Thursday's session. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Olave made the trip to Baltimore with his teammates, and barring a setback in pregame warmups, he'll be formally cleared to play upon the release of the Saints' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Underhill adds that Olave isn't expected to face any limitations in terms of snaps.

Burrow (back) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, but he "should be good to go" barring a setback, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor indicated Friday that Burrow -- who was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday before finishing the week with a full session -- was "good to go" for Week 2, and the quarterback remains on track to play. Burrow's availability for Sunday's game will be confirmed when the Bengals reveal their inactive list at 11:30 a.m. ET.

McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, "has made rapid progress" and "has every intention of playing," Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

After sitting out practice the first two days of the week, McConkey was able to sneak in a limited session Friday. Though Pelissero relays that a final decision on McConkey's status won't be made until later Sunday, fantasy managers can expect him to avoid the Chargers' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McConkey is working his way back from a cracked rib and has improved more steadily than anticipated since suffering the injury in last weekend's season-opening loss to the Cardinals. McConkey is expected to wear a flak jacket to offer further protection for the rib Sunday, assuming he gets the green light to play, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

O'Connell (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.

O'Connell must miss Sunday's contest due to a personal matter. With the quarterback out, Fernando Mendoza is currently the sole backup if Kirk Cousins goes down due to injury.

Bradford (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bradford was unable to practice Friday, downgrading his participation level after two limited sessions earlier in the week. The starting right guard will be unable to suit up to defend Drew Lock, leaving Christian Haynes as the most likely option to start Sunday's game.

The Ravens placed Tampa (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Tampa was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints due to his knee issue. The cornerback is the primary depth option for the Ravens' defense, meaning Chidobe Awuzie is now the primary backup if Marlon Humphrey or Nate Wiggins goes down with an injury. Tampa will now need to miss four games on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster.

The Dolphins placed Harrison (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

Harrison was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers due to his injury. The linebacker suffered the hamstring injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Raiders and has been unable to practice since the incident. Harrison will now need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster.

The 49ers placed Stribling (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Stribling suffered what appeared to be a serious non-contact injury during the 49ers' Week 1 win against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, but afterward tests revealed that his left Achilles was intact, and eventually he was diagnosed with a deltoid sprain of his left ankle. After undergoing surgery, he's expected to miss roughly 10 weeks, meaning a move to IR was inevitable. At least during the initial weeks of Stribling's absence, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge will handle WR duties for San Francisco.

The Vikings elevated Bell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

The Vikings signed Bell to the practice squad Sept. 2 after waiving the wide receiver on cutdown day. The undrafted free agent out of Georgia has yet to play in an NFL game, but he will likely get his chance Sunday due to Jauan Jennings (personal) being unavailable for the contest.

Kinchens (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.

Kinchens did not participate throughout Week 2 as the free safety continues to deal with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The 23-year-old does not appear to have progressed in his recovery significantly and may need to miss future weeks as he deals with the injury. While Kinchens is out, Jaylen McCollough or Quentin Lake will likely take over at free safety for the Rams.
